May 11, 2015 12:19 PM EDT

BRIDGEVIEW, IL -- (Marketwired) -- 05/11/15 -- Manitex International, Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTX), a leading international provider of cranes and specialized material and container handling equipment, today announced first quarter 2015 results.

First Quarter 2015 Financial Highlights:

  • Net revenues increased 69.2% year-over-year to $105.9 million compared to $62.6 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (1)(2) was $8.0 million or 7.6% of sales, compared to $4.7 million or 7.5% of sales.
  • Adjusted net income (1)(2) was $1.5 million or $0.10 per share, compared to net income of $1.9 million or $0.14 per share.
  • Net loss of $0.2 million or $(0.01) per share (inclusive of approximately $3 million in transaction costs) compared to net income of $1.9 million or $0.14 per share.
  • Repaid $2.8 million of term debt, including $1.5 advance payment of remaining 2015 principal requirements on term debt for PM acquisition.
  • Consolidated backlog as of March 31, 2015 was $109.6 million.

Transactions:

  • On January 15th, 2015, completed the acquisition of PM Group, a manufacturer of truck mounted knuckle-boom cranes based near Modena, Italy for a purchase consideration of $30.4 million, comprising cash of $20.3 million and 994,483 shares of common stock.
  • Prior to the quarter, on December 19, 2014 acquired 51% of ASV Inc, a manufacturer of compact tracked loaders and skid steers based in Minnesota, for a purchase consideration of $26.4 million, comprising cash of $25.0 million, and a note payable to the seller of $1.4 million.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America) financial measures. These measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to review the section below entitled "Non-GAAP Financial Measures." (2) Adjustments include approximately $3.0 million pretax in transaction and other costs associated with ASV and PM Group transactions, reconciled in tables below.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, David Langevin, commented, "We have brought together an exceptional portfolio of specialized industrial equipment businesses and are making good progress integrating our most recent acquisitions. This was the first quarter in which we have included both ASV and PM Group in our results, and as expected, our financials have changed significantly, with revenues now running at over $100 million per quarter. The opportunity to add PM knuckle boom cranes to our North American assembly operations and market throughout our dealer network remains a top priority for this year and beyond, and we're excited about growing this business. ASV also remains an exciting opportunity for us, with modest improvement in US construction markets expected this year, which will benefit ASV's performance. Given continued global economic softness, we are concentrating our efforts on optimizing our cost structure and allocating resources to our higher margin business units that we believe will drive our future growth."

Net revenues increased $43.3 million to $105.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $62.6 million for the comparable period in 2014. Without the ASV and PM transactions, which had combined revenues of $48.6 million, revenues would have decreased $5.3 million, of which $3.4 resulted from the impact of currency translation with a stronger U.S. dollar compared to the first quarter of 2014. PM knuckle boom crane sales were encouraging in the quarter in most sales regions, and particularly in the Americas and Europe where construction activity continued to show improvement. ASV sales were substantially focused on the North American market and for the quarter were skewed more heavily towards the lower capacity units used in more general construction activity. We experienced a reduction in the first quarter sales of the Manitex boom truck business in trucks having greater than a 40 ton capacity principally related to the decline in demand from the energy sector. The majority of this decline was offset by increased sales of material handling equipment reflecting increased shipments of military forklifts. Sales in the Equipment Distribution segment were $1.2 million lower than in the comparable period of 2014.

Adjusted net income for the first quarter of 2015, excluding $3.0 million pretax of acquisition related and other costs related to the transactions for the newly acquired businesses of ASV and PM, was $1.5 million or $0.10 per share compared to net income of $1.9 million and $0.14 per share for the first quarter of 2014. Operating income adjusted for the acquisition expenses in the first quarter of 2015 was 4.9% of sales compared to 5.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2014, resulting from an adverse sales mix of lower capacity product and lower crane sales that was only partially offset by $0.8 million of lower operating expenses, excluding the acquired businesses. On an adjusted basis, gross margin was 20% and SG&A as a percentage of sales was 14% for the quarter, compared to 18.5% and 11.6% respectively for the three months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting some of the structural changes from the recent acquisitions, including additional operations, both sales and manufacturing, in a number of overseas locations.

Andrew Rooke, Manitex International President and Chief Operating Officer, commented, "During the first quarter we commenced the integration and assimilation of our recent acquisitions into the Company. ASV and PM contributed almost $50 million to our top line and provided additional diversification of product and market to our profile. During the quarter we were very active in the market with our distribution networks and received a very positive reception as we commenced the re-launch of the ASV brand as well as actively promoting the PM knuckle boom crane. Our cost reduction program announced at the end of last year, picked up steam during the quarter and had a positive impact in the quarter helping to offset the gross margin effect of some adverse sales mix, and we are on track to achieve the $4 million goal set for 2015. The recent expansion of the Company through the acquisition of ASV and PM has increased our leverage and we have rapidly attacked our debt, making principal repayments of $2.8 million, including a $1.5 million advance payment in March to satisfy all 2015 principal payments on the PM acquisition term loan. Our objective is continue to pay off debt through working capital improvements during 2015 and beyond, with the objective of returning our balance sheet ratios in time back to our normalized levels."

Mr. Langevin concluded, "Our plan for this year remains to integrate and execute, and this will require continued emphasis on cost containment, integrating our operations, and managing our balance sheet for the benefit of our shareholders. Going forward we would expect to allocate our future cash flows to investing in our higher-margin businesses and paying down our debt to maintain the financial flexibility that has been a hallmark of this company since we first started this in 2006."

Supplemental Information

In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results, Manitex International refers to various non-GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) financial measures which management believes provides useful information to investors. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Manitex International believes that this information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. Management of Manitex International uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to establish internal budgets and targets and to evaluate the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets.

The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in thousands of U.S. dollars, and are as of, or for the three month period ended March 31, 2015, unless otherwise indicated.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes the following non-GAAP financial measures: "Adjusted EBITDA" (earnings before interest, tax, foreign exchange transaction gain / losses, other income / expense acquisition related expense and other exceptional costs and depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted Net Income. These non-GAAP terms, as defined by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Neither Adjusted Net Income nor Adjusted EBITDA are a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are significant components in understanding and assessing financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net earnings, operating income and other consolidated earnings data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our profitability. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income is provided below.

The Company's management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales and Adjusted Net Income represent key operating metrics for its business. Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, foreign exchange transaction gain / losses, other income / expense, acquisition related expense and other exceptional costs and Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA) and Adjusted Net Income, GAAP net income adjusted for acquisition and certain other one off items are a key indicator used by management to evaluate operating performance. While Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income are not intended to replace any presentation included in our consolidated financial statements under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be considered an alternative to operating performance or an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity, we believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing our operating results, capital expenditure and working capital requirements and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. These calculations may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income to GAAP financial measures for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is included with this press release below and with the Company's related Form 8-K.

Acquisition and other expense

After tax expense and per share amounts (Adjusted Net Income) are calculated using pre-tax amounts, applying a tax rate based on jurisdictional rates to arrive at an after-tax amount. This number is divided by the weighted average diluted shares to provide the impact on earnings per share. The company assesses the impact of these items because when discussing earnings per share, the Company adjusts for items it believes are not reflective of operating activities in the periods.

Backlog

Backlog is defined as purchase orders that have been received by the Company. The disclosure of backlog aids in the analysis the Company's customers' demand for product, as well as the ability of the Company to meet that demand. Backlog is not necessarily indicative of sales to be recognized in a specified future period.

Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) is calculated by taking the sum of net trade and related party receivables divided by annualized sales per day (sales for the quarter, multiplied by 4, and the sum divided by 365).

Days Payables Outstanding (DPO) is calculated by taking the sum of net trade and related party payables divided by annualized cost of sales per day (cost of goods sold for the quarter, multiplied by 4, and the sum divided by 365).

Debt is calculated using the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for current and long term portion of long term debt, capital lease obligations, notes payable, convertible notes and revolving credit facilities. Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated by dividing total debt at the balance sheet date by trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA.

*The ASV and PM acquisitions have been included for the period since their respective acquisition, December 19, 2014 for ASV and January 15, 2015 for PM. Therefore trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA only includes contributions from ASV of 102 days and 75 days from PM. With a full year of ASV and PM, on a proforma basis, Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio is 4.9.

Interest Cover is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, foreign exchange transaction gain / losses, other income / expense acquisition related expense and other exceptional costs and depreciation and amortization) for the trailing twelve month period (April 1 2014 to March 31, 2015) by interest expense as reported in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the same period.

Inventory turns are calculated by multiplying cost of goods sold for the referenced three month period by 4 and dividing that figure by inventory as at the referenced period.

Manufacturing Expenses include manufacturing wages, salaries, fixed and variable overhead costs.

Operating Working Capital is calculated using the Consolidated Balance Sheet amounts for Trade receivables (net of allowance) plus inventories, less Accounts payable. The Company considers excessive working capital as an inefficient use of resources, and seeks to minimize the level of investment without adversely impacting the ongoing operations of the business.
